Dear Dentists,
I have observed a big gap in the middle Lining of my left Upper molar teeth.
I am not experiencing any pain right now. I would like to know about this kind of Teeth condition and treatment to be done in near future.
Sometimes food particles are sticking into that teeth gap, I am using toothpick to clear those.
Do I need to undergo any ToothFill or root canal.
Requesting for your expert advices.
Thanks
